From The Hill: Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former personal attorney, predicts he will “go after” tech billionaire Elon Musk’s money now that the Tesla CEO’s time as a special government employee has finished.
Musk spent at least $250 million to boost Trump’s 2024 campaign and was tapped to spearhead the cost-cutting initiative to eliminate waste and fraud in government through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Cohen — who has turned into one of the most outspoken Trump critics in recent years —predicted Trump will use DOGE “to figure out how Elon, with his companies, took advantage of the United States of America” and try to “claw back” government subsidies for Tesla.
“I said from the very start that this bromance was going to come to an end,” Cohen said. “I’m going to go one step even further, again, and I’m going to say Trump will ultimately go after Elon’s money next because it bothers him that he is the richest man in the world.”
Cohen went on to claim that Trump “used [Musk] for his money.”
Cohen predicted that trump would “do to Elon Musk […] what Mohammed bin Salman did to the other members of the royal family.”
The Hill explains that Salman targeted “so-called corruption in 2017, when he ordered the arrest and detention of dozens of prominent leaders, including family members, government officials and top business leaders, upon being named heir to the throne.”
Cohen accused Trump of being disloyal, saying the people in the president’s inner circle know that “loyalty with Trump … goes one way.”
Musk “100 percent” thinks that he’s different, Cohen said.
“They all think that they’re different, that Donald is going to shine the light on them, when push comes to shove,” Cohen said.
White House communications director Steven Cheung responded to Cohen’s remarks.
“Michael Cohen is an admitted liar, thief, perjurer and convicted felon,” Cheung said in a statement to The Hill. “He has zero credibility, and any and all statements made by him about President Trump and others should be disregarded as the rantings of a deeply troubled, jealous, and sad individual who is clearly trying to rehabilitate his image by selling what’s left of his soul through lies and deception.”
